I have been on an organization kick for quite some time now, and no room in the house drove me as nuts as my daughter’s bedroom. There’s TONS of toys, clothes, shoes, journals, notebooks, pens and pencils that didn’t really have anywhere to go because she had so much stuff in such a small space. After falling in love with the Songmics shoe organizer, I decided to see what other storage and organization issues they could help me tackle.

The Songmics 3-Tier Storage Cube Organizer was absolutely the perfect fit for my daughter’s bedroom, and exactly what I had been looking for! Even though I’m not a handy person, this was easy to assemble and I was ready to use it in almost no time at all. Everything you need to put this storage cube together is included in the box, so there’s no need to dig out any extra tools or hardware, how cool is that?

This organization cube will help you keep your home neat, tidy and organized, and offer ultimate convenient for your household organization. Talk about versatile! This organizer can be used for storing all sorts of items, and there is SO much more room inside this organizer than you would think. I managed to clean up all the random junk in my daughter’s room and STILL had extra space to put more. The ABS connectors and PP panels allow you assemble the storage units into different style according to your needs which is perfect for a household that likes to change things up now and then like mine. The rust-proof iron frame makes your storage unit extra durable and ready to take on the mess of any room in the house. I wish the 10 lb load per cube was a little higher, but I stored the heaviest items in the bottom cubes and haven’t had any issues with bowing, cracking, tearing, or breaking which makes this quite possibly one of my favorite items I’ve ever received as a blogger.

Don’t just take my word for it, one of you lucky readers will have a chance to win a Songmics storage cube of your own!

Back To School is always a CRAZY time of year in my household and it usually means heaps of shoes thrown all over the floor without care (thanks kids!). With my kids headed back to school next week I was on a mission to find a way to keep shoes nice, neat, and organized. Songmics to the rescue!

Isn’t the Songmics 2-Tier Shoe Organizing Rack natural bamboo beautiful? Not only is it beautiful, it’s 100% natural bamboo so it’s environment friendly and sturdy. The 2 tiers are perfect for users of all sizes. Whether my 5 year old or 14 year old needs to sit down and put their shoes on for school, there’s a perfect height bench seat just for them. The finish is natural and smooth with rounded corners to protect against scratching little ones…a MUST in this household!

FINALLY, a place to keep my boots! The larger section is perfect for boots while the other shelves are perfect for holding all of your shoes, no matter what type. We don’t have the largest house so I really love the compact, space saving design. I don’t have much room to spare but this shoe bench fit in absolutely perfectly and looks great! You’ll need to assemble it once it arrives, but don’t let that scare you. I am NOT the most handy person, and I didn’t want to wait for my husband to get home from work to assemble it so I figured I’d see if I could manage to pull it off. The instructions are very clear, step by step, and even include pictures to guide you along the way. All of the hardware and tools you’ll need are included in the box so no need to purchase anything else to assemble. In about 15 minutes the whole bench was put together and is quite sturdy.

If you’re looking for a storage solution for your Back To School shoe nightmare…believe me…I get it. Thanks to Songmics, one lucky reader will win a Songmics 2-Tier Shoe Organizer of their own!

If you’ve read my blog for even a short amount of time you already know that I have a kid-friendly, pet-loving home. Between three children, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a husband, sometimes my house needs a little freshening up…especially my teenage son’s room. I was super excited when I was offered the opportunity to work with Air Wick and try out a few products.

The Air Wick Freshmatic is a heaven send for my busy household. I was really hopeful that the Freshmatic would keep my home smelling fresh all day, but that is a really big task. To my surprise, it worked even better than I had hoped and my home has smelt AMAZING! My living room and kitchen are open floor plan so I put the Freshmatic right where the two spaces come together. The fragrance is powerful enough to work in both rooms with one conveniently placed sprayer. Not only will the Freshmatic continuously neutralize odors in your home, it will do so for 60 days (if used on the minimum setting) with up to 2,400 sprays per refill. Whether you hang it on the wall or place it on a cabinet or shelf, your home will smell fabulous all day long.

I had seen commercials for the Air Wick Pure spray and I was really interested in seeing how ‘less wet’ the spray was. I had been using a different brand of air freshener and it had a light rain type mist that would come down when I used it so the bottle just sat in my bookshelf more often than not. The Air Wick Pure promised to eliminate odors with 9x more fragrance and less wet residue than their traditional aerosol cans, so if they can deliver, I’m a converted fan. Well guess what? On my last trip to the store I picked up a few more cans for various rooms in the house because the Pure spray is fabulous! The fragrance fills the room without being too overpowering and you don’t even feel the wet residue of the spray which is a fabulous thing.

Be sure to sing up for the Fragrant Homes Club from Air Wick…you’ll get lots of great home decor tips and tricks as well as coupons for fabulous Air Wick products.

SnapPower is a company with a goal to create simple and convenient solutions to power home electronics and automation devices with their innovative prong technology. SnapPower provides a unique line of products that solve some of the most basic issues in today’s home.

If you have children, you know that the night light struggle is real. My youngest child is 5, and it’s still been a nightly occurance that I get woken up by her crying because she needs to potty but is afraid of the dark. (She has a night light in her room, but the dark hallway looks terrifying at night through her 5 year old eyes.)

The SnapPower Guidelight is not only easy to install and is absolutely a heaven send for our household. The Guidelight has a sleek, and energy-efficient design that safely transforms your outlet coverplate into a convenient night light. There are no wires or batteries required, and it leaves all outlets free for use!

The SnapPower Charger HAD to have been created specifically for my household. My sons (ages 11 and 13) are just like any other kid their age and have lots of electronics that they like to use. For some reason, they are ALWAYS losing the charger base but have plenty of USB cords to charge their devices with.

The SnapPower Charger is also easy-to-install, and has a sleek, energy-efficient design that safely transforms your outlet coverplate into a convenient USB charger. Again, no wires or batteries needed and it leaves all outlets free for use. As soon as this was installed in my sons’ room the fighting diminished. They went from bickering about who used the charger last to getting along like brothers should. (Well, most of the time, haha!)

I’m sure we all know and love Lava Lamp…they’ve been a fun, enticing home decor item for over 50 years. It is one of the most recognized consumer shapes of all time…and rightfully so. Lava Lamp is continually innovating their products to keep up with new trends and technology while always making sure quality is second to none. With tons of classic, modern, fun, and youthful designs, you’re sure to find one you can’t live without, whether you’re 10 or 100.

I remember Lava Lamps from the 80’s when I was a kid and it was so fun to bring them into our home and introduce them to my children. They were mesmerized when the lamps heated up and they saw the beauty of Lava Lamps in action.

The hand-painted Rainbow Lava Lamp was an instant hit with my 5 year old daughter. She loves the colors and it looks great in her bedroom! The hand-painted rainbow base and cap match perfectly to the rainbow of the multi-colored glass globe as the white wax passes through the moving lava, absorbing the different colors and changing tone. This beautiful rainbow lamp will bring color and a relaxed, happy vibe to any room. My daughter has ditched her night-light and uses her Lava Lamp every night…AND she’s sleeping better than ever so HUGE mom win!

My sons are typical boys and their room is predominantly decorated with blue so the Bubble Frosted Lava Lamp was a perfect match for their room. A cool bubble design is hand-etched into the glass globe so the Lava inside can take on the different levels of transparency as it flows up and down. The hand-painted base is white hot and the cool globe design is perfect for chillin’. My sons friends thought this Lava Lamp was the coolest thing ever and I have a feeling a few of them will have Lava Lamps of their own soon.

Oh. My. Goodness. This Lava Lamp had to have been created with my bedroom in mind. My room is decorated with dark blue, light blue, and aqua and this Lava Lamp just fit into the design as if the room were designed around it. Watch the different sized blobs collide, flow and split apart as they ooze their way up and around the glass globe. A hand-spun base and cap make this lamp truly unique. I love how versatile this lamp is, I could put it into virtually any room in my house and it would look spectacular.

No matter who you’re shopping for this holiday season, Lava Lamps are a great gift for anyone on your list.

I received this FABULOUS Thermal Insulated Blackout Grommet Window Curtain blackout window curtain and I have to admit, I was blown away when it arrived. The pictures on the Amazon listing do it no justice, it is stunning! The curtain is very well made, and will look beautiful in any room you intend to place it in. This curtain is called ‘The Tree Of Life’ and has the most beautiful tree images on it.

This curtain features a very beautiful two-side panel with Jacquard technology. Every curtain is hand made, and you can really see the effort that goes into creating such a beautiful product.

It can be hard to escape the sun living in Arizona, so I was hopeful this curtain would work as well as it promised to. You can see from the picture above that there is no sun seeping through, and the sun is shining right on this window! This curtain will block out 90% of the sunlight in any room. With the added benefit of noise buffering this curtain just keeps getting better and better. I put this curtain up in my toddlers bedroom and I’m loving the added bonus of her sleeping in a little longer…where was this when my husband worked graveyard shift? He had such a hard time sleeping during the day and this would’ve been the perfect solution!
